I  always loved baking all kinds of Christmas cookies when December rolls around.  That was before I started my food blog! Now, I usually start before December but I still love it!  You may be a food blogger if you start Christmas baking at the beginning of November!!  Haha!

Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread cookies are such a nice staple at Christmas!  Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without them, I don't think!  They are such delicate, simple cookies, but so good!  We usually top our shortbread cookies with maraschino cherries, but why not add chocolate chips to the dough?!

I learned this year that whipped shortbread cookies float in milk!  I'm not sure if they would float in a hot drink, though.  Did you know that about whipped shortbread?

If you are a big fan of shortbread, you might like my Eggnog Shortbread Cookies that I posted in 2017!  Or some of these other Christmas cookie recipes of mine:

  • Cranberry Pistachio Icebox Cookies - buttery & delicious cookies with yummy dried cranberries and pistachios! 
  • Mint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies - mint & chocolate are such yummy Christmas flavours, put them in a fudgy cookie and you're the star of the cookie exchange!
  • Eggnog White Chocolate Chip Cookies - classic holiday flavours in a chewy cookie with creamy white chocolate chips!

Equipment

  • baking sheet(s)
  • parchment paper
  • electric handheld mixer
  • mixing bowls
  • measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (confectioners sugar)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips + more for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer on high speed, cream the softened butter for 1 minute.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch, powdered sugar, and flour in another bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the butter in two additions, blending on low speed between each addition.
  • Once all the flour mixture is incorporated, increase the mixer to high speed and whip the dough for 2 minutes until fluffy and light in colour. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Using your hands, roll the dough into spheres, using about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets at least ½ inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes or until the bottoms are golden. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. Enjoy!

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month. 

Love and Cookies,

Naomi
